Chapter 428 The Shadow of Lingwu Continent
In fact, Meng Cangran didn't know much.
From his perspective, Ning Wuxie and Jiang Ningxuan left the Xuanqin Palace, went back again, and then suddenly entered the Iron Tree Xuanhu Divine Sword through some unknown method.
Then the three ancestors headed by Zhao Xun chased in angrily, seeming to attribute the disappearance of Zhao Ying and the others to Ning Wuxie.
A few months later, Master Wuyuan and several others suddenly appeared in the Xuanhu Divine Sword and walked away.
A few months later, the Xuanhu Divine Sword disappeared, and Ning Wuxie also disappeared instantly.
The disappearance of the Xuanhu Divine Sword was a big deal. At this point, Renzong and the Xuanqin Dynasty finally began to realize the seriousness of the matter and began to investigate, but it was already too late.
Then, Ning Wuxie called Meng Cangran out of Qi'an City, handed over the three beaten and half-crippled ancestors to him, and threatened them not to reveal anything to Meng Cangran.
Since then, Ning Wuxie has never appeared in the world again. Confucianism has been looking for him, but he is nowhere to be seen in the huge Lingwu Continent.
Zhao Xun and the other three ancestors indeed kept their promise and did not say anything more to Meng Cangran.
But when drastic changes occurred in the four towns of Dongli Mountain, and Renzong called Master Wuyuan the Demon Lord, the three ancestors suddenly couldn't sit still.
They immediately set off for Renzong City and have not returned yet.
That's all Meng Cangran knew.
However, one or two things can be inferred from this information.
First of all, Master Wuyuan must be involved with Ning Wuxie! Otherwise, why would the three ancestors immediately rush to Renzong City to seek refuge when they heard that Renzong was going to deal with Wuyuan.
Second, Ning Wuxie may have the power to awaken and seize the ancient emperor's artifact. The East China Sea turning blue has shocked the entire Lingwu Continent, and word has spread that the Chouyun River is no longer scarlet.
Knowing these two points, the answer is already obvious, but Meng Cangran has always been unwilling to believe it and dare not believe it.
That is, the real target of Renzong is actually Ning Wuxie!
If Zhenren Wuyuan and Ning Wuxie join forces to seize the ancient emperor's artifacts from all over the world, then everything that happens will be correct!
The massacre of the four towns in Dongli corresponds to the Donghai Flame Spear, and the death of Yuchi Songxu in Chouyunjiang corresponds to the Mourning Blood Knife. Wherever there are artifacts, there will be changes.
And now the Renzong's actions in Xuelong Ridge are even more obvious.
Renzong's every move was following Ning Wuxie, trying to stop him and intercept him.
But all failed.
But there's one thing that's unclear, and that's why Ning Wuxie did this?
Meng Cangran confided everything he knew in the Wanzhu Hall, and everyone was shocked.
Xun Zhu also immediately realized that this matter was not trivial, suspended the meeting, and took Meng Cangran and Qizhi Sheng to the dark room of Wanzhutang.
Xun Zhu and the other sages had such far-reaching minds that they immediately derived the correct conclusion from the information provided by Meng Cangran.
"So, it was Ning Wuxie who caused the current situation..." A saint with a gray beard was dumbfounded and murmured.
"Yes, Lan Yuan was behind it, Yuchi Songxu's death caused Dayu to be besieged, Xuan Qin's divine beast corpse was stolen by him... all of them directly contributed to the occurrence of today's scene!"
"It turns out he is the initiator!"
Xun Zhu frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" He shouted to stop these saints.
"How could Ning Wuxie have imagined that today's situation would happen? What good would it do to him to plunge the world into war? He is now being hunted by the Renzong and has not shown up to return to Confucianism. He clearly does not want to drag us down."
"In the final analysis, we misjudged the situation. We had wrong expectations for Renzong!"
The other saints were stunned for a moment, and then nodded when they heard this.
Yes, Ning Wuxie was alone, and he only went to Lan Yuan for training. How could he expect that he would subvert Lan Yuan?
In Xuan Qin as well, Meng Cangran clearly said that he had long sensed something was wrong with Zhang Wanyang and chased him to protect him.
As for Yuchi Songxu of Chouyunjiang River, we still don’t know Ning Wuxie’s true purpose and the point of conflict with Renzong.
The seven sages were all deep in thought.
Unexpectedly, under the turbulent situation in Lingwu Continent, the giant whale Ning Wuxie was swimming silently. The water flow generated by the swing of its tail makes the calm sea surface become turbulent and stirs up turbulent waves.
Even Xun Zhu thought before that Ning Wuxie died accidentally while wandering outside, and was just a genius who shone briefly.
Now it seems that the direction of the entire world is closely related to him?
What made Ye Qingxuan forget about the major threat of the return of the demon from outside the territory and choose to besiege this fledgling young man?
What secret does he have? !
Xun Zhu felt that he was very close to the truth, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"Master Xun..." Seeing his teacher's frown, Meng Cangran couldn't help but tell the most secret and crucial vague guess:
"I have long felt that Ning Wuxie seems to have come into contact with a very powerful and highly penetrating secret organization on the Lingwu Continent..."
Xun Zhu raised his head with deep eyes, "What do you mean?"
"He was repeatedly unwilling to tell me the truth, saying it was to protect me, and even hinted in his words..."
He hesitated to speak, and glanced at the other saints. They were all great scholars with white beards and hair, an immortal spirit, and both strength and cultivation.
"Whatever it implies, it's okay to say it directly." Xun Zhu said.
"Hint, even the Confucian high-level officials have their people. If I let them know, my life will be at risk..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Zhu's eyes suddenly shrank, his eyes sharp and serious, "Is it this organization that is chasing Ning Wuxie? Does that mean... Ye Qingxuan is also a member of this organization?"
"Disciple thinks it's very possible."
"So Demon Lord Wuyuan is just a slander made by Ye Qingxuan to frame Master Wuyuan?!" A saint exclaimed, "Then the four towns of Dongli..."
"It's the sin committed by the Renzong..." Another Holy Saint murmured, his tone full of disbelief.
The news that Renzong, the leader of the righteous path, would actually massacre people was even more shocking than Confucianism's failure to maintain world peace.
"Do you have any ideas?" Xun Zhu looked closely at Meng Cangran.
This question is naturally about the top Confucian people, who are the traitors...
"Cangran, don't be afraid, just tell me!" a sage encouraged.
"Say it directly and we will make the decision for you!"
"Confucianism is now at a critical point of life and death. You must speak out."
Meng Cangran was stunned when he heard this.
He also wanted to say it.
But Ning Wuxie protected him too well. I really don't know anything about his motives, what he is doing, or his enemies.
Zhao Xun may know something, but they are in Renzong City now.
He lowered his head slightly, as if blaming himself.
Why didn't I be more careful and ask Ning Wuxie, or let Rourou talk to Miss Xuan'er?
After a moment, he slowly raised his head with firm eyes.
"Disciple, there really is a clue... Ning Wuxie once told me the name of that person."
Meng Canran looked directly at Xun Zhu, and when he saw the latter's eyes widening quickly, all the Seven Saints fell silent and stared at Meng Canran with all their concentration.
"Master Xun, I will talk to you privately after we come down."
As soon as this statement came out.
The air in the darkroom was stagnant.
Even Xun Zhu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, looked at Meng Cangran in astonishment, and nodded.
"Ah good."
The remaining six saints all looked at each other with astonishment, their lips tightly closed, and they looked at each other calmly.
Meng Cangran didn't want to say it here.
That means that person is one of the Seven Holy Saints? ! !
